  • Issue in Brief: Prisoner Reentry
    ISSUE IN BRIEF: PRISONER REENTRY BY: ERICH COCHLING AND PATRICK KAISER | JUNE 2014 JULY 2013 georgiaopportunity.org Issue in Brief: Prisoner Reentry July 2013 Issue in Brief: Prisoner Reentry INTRODUCTION The number of people who are in prison, in jail, on parole, or on probation is far too high nationwide – 1 in 31 adults.1 Far more startling is that 1 in 13 adults are under one of these forms of correctional supervision in the State of Georgia.2 The state’s prison population is currently the fourth largest in the nation at 57,570 offenders. 3 With such a large prison population, Georgia releases a large number of prisoners each year (19,172 offenders in 2012 and an average of 20,537 offenders over the last five years reported).4 Of those released in 2012, 8,960 were paroled, 5,187 were released to serve a sentence of probation, and 1,379 maxed-out their prison sentence and were under no supervision at all.5 In recent years, the Governor’s office and the Georgia Legislature has made significant strides in reducing the number of offenders entering into correctional supervision in the first place.6 Those efforts are showing good signs of slowing the pipeline to prison.7 At the same time, the Department of Corrections and various nonprofits have focused significant work on reentry, as offenders who receive the necessary support in transitioning from prison to the commu- nity are less likely to recidivate.8 State agencies, non-profits, businesses, churches, and other community stakeholders have identified barriers to reentry and many are doing excellent work.

  • Aging-Inmate Population Project (1992 – 2012)
    GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS Operations, Planning and Training Division (OPTD) AGING-INMATE POPULATION PROJECT (1992 – 2012) by: Katrina Dawkins, Operations Analyst II Contributors: Timothy S. Carr, Ph.D., Senior Researcher; Ron Henry, Analysis Section Manager NOTE: All data in this report was collected during the first three quarters of 2013 (February – September). These numbers change constantly and may not or will not be consistent with the numbers we currently have, but were the correct numbers we retrieved at the time these reports were created. ‘The Aging-Inmate Population Project’ Created by Katrina Dawkins, Operations Analyst II for FY 2013 - GDC (OPTD) Page 2 Older inmates have more health problems, generally consume more health services, and are prescribed more medications than younger inmates… Regardless of the increased demand these individuals place on the system, their numbers are steadily increasing and they will continue to consume a disproportionate share of the limited resources available for health care and programmatic enhancements within the correctional setting. - State of Florida Correctional Medical Authority, “2009-2010 Annual Report and Report on Aging-inmates” Executive Summary The aging-inmate crisis is a major topic of discussions in prison systems throughout America. This crisis is primarily focused on the high cost of caring for the aging-inmate population. This is an on-going and growing concern for the state and federal prison systems not only in America, but also outside of U.S, as mentioned in the following, The rising cost and complexity of incarcerating the aged is far from an exclusively American problem. A study released this month in a journal (http://www.journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/hsdr/volume-1/issue-5) states that “older prisoners are the fastest growing subgroup in the English and Welsh prison estate” and that 44 percent of those establishments have no established prisoner policies.
